Thanks for your very thoughtful comment. I agree wholeheartedly with the how we need to react when the drumbeats start sounding.

I was a bit angry and defensive. I was about to write a completely different post and was looking for drone footage online of the march when I came upon the NYT piece. After nearly vomiting, I changed the focus of my post. Today, I will write the more heartwarming story of how children viewed the march in St. Petersburg. Their answers are touching in their innocence. Talk to you soon.
